(Don't) Merge net-tools 1.60+git20150829.73cef8a-2 from unstable

[James Page]

Logging this bug as I don't think we should be doing this for Xenial - the output of the net-tools tooling is quite different with the new snapshot which I think as the potential to regress anything parsing the output of net-tools tooling:

Current output:

I've attached the merge patch - but I think this is one for Xenial +1.

Hello :)

I see that 1.60+git20150829.73cef8a-2ubuntu1 has been merged and landed in Yakkety, though I am not sure what to do with the status of this bug.

[Hans Joachim Desserud (hjd)]

Since I haven't heard anything, and I see that Ubuntu 19.04 and later ships with 1.60+git20180626.aebd88e-1ubuntu1, I assume any issues blocking the merge has been resolved along the way.
